MI6 Confidential #14: Living on the Edge

The 14th issue of MI6 Confidential focuses on the 25th anniversary of The Living Daylights, details from the launch of the new Seamaster, a history of Anthony Sinclair and 007 and more.

For fans who grew up after Sean Connery had already handed in his Walther PPK, it may not spring apparent that Timothy Dalton's debut outing in The Living Daylights now signposts the half way point in 007's fifty years on screen. This summer marks the 25th anniversary of that film, which in turn marked the 25th anniversary of Bond on the big screen back in 1987. Time sure flies when you're having fun. As well as a number of features celebrating 007 'living on the edge', this issue includes Bond directors discussing their work on the series, coverage of key events for this 50th anniversary year, and some early soundbites from the Skyfall cast and crew.
